1 A4 sheet of Small Butterflies printed on translucent vellum (only 2 butterflies used on these cards)

4 A4 sheets 8.3x12” for layering on the cards – 3 of them are in watercolour – rose pink, cornflower blue, grass green & the 4th is a baroque damask. Each sheet is 12” long so will need to be cut to fit the cards which are 5.5”. Before cutting make sure of the measurements needed for that card – there will be enough to add a strip on the inside of the card

1 A4 sheet of labels

1 A4 sheet of Cut & Create ephemera

The embellishments on the cards included in the kit – all laces, ribbons, leaves, flowers & pearls.

Additions needed if you wish: coloured cardstock for mats, words & labels, Diecuts, additional embellishments as well as any interior of the card details including words & sentiments.

Hello everyone,
I have a new layout to share with you today. I have used the Sherlock lll A New Case 12"x12" patterned papers, the cut & create sheets & corrugated cardboard to create my vintage grunge style page.

I have used the following products:-

Metal dies: Gears Large:M277

Greenery: M338

I have used lots of metal charms & some ribbon, jute twin, mesh trim, products available form Meg's Garden Online Store.

I fussy cut various flower images from the cut and create sheet , bundled them together and raised them on foam dots for dimension and tied them with a satin edged organza ribbon. I placed the bouquet on top of a doily.

Thank you for calling by, I hope I have inspired you to pop over to Megs Store and be delighted with all the gorgeous Papers and embellishments.

A cross between post cards with a size of 4x6” & the Cut & Create ephemera that come in several sized images.

The Vintage Journal cards are sized at 3x4”

This figure shows a Journal card in the middle of a 6x6” cardstock card – gives plenty of room to add. The Journal Card is the perfect focus on the card – it gives you the opportunity to decorate them with die cuts, flowers & ribbons, some lace or cogs, jute twine, mesh ribbons & tags or tickets etc.

The Journal Card does not have to be in the centre;

off to one side, down & into the left or the right, wherever you want it

The diagram also shows plenty of room to have patterned paper layers behind the card; you could also use a cardstock or diecut frame to add another texture & dimension.

The Journal Cards also come with a lined paper so that you can cut & add a backing to the card - with or without cardstock between.

More:

write a poem or add a joke

add a message

a reminder of …

explain the enclosed photo or object

invitation to…

words or phrase from a favourite song

make the card into a small book

cut or diecut a frame in front of card to show journal card on inside of card

add a small letter folded in Elizabethan/Regency style

Use:

The cards have been designed to be relatively simple – add the colours you want by matting in the same colour range or in contrasting colours depending on the style you want to create.

Hints for Layers: alternate between dark and light shades so the colours won’t blend too much. By doing this, it creates contrast and you can see all the beautiful papers and layers.

glue three or four layers of the frame together to create a thick piece. This adds dimension to your projects without using expensive foam tape. Also, it gives the frame a better finish.

Hello everyone, popping in to the blog today to show you some cards I created with this beautiful collection!

All the cards are using the A4 pages, cutting out the most beautiful elements on the pages to make the centrepiece of each card.

This card uses the ink pot as the inspiration, I have added the pen nib and the sentiment "Spread the word" to create a writers theme. The organza ribbon tied in beautifully with the vintage photo ink around the background paper.

This card has such a beautiful background paper that I left it so simple with a mink/taupe organza ribbon and the muted rhinestones from the diamond sheet, available at the website.

This card has such a detailed background paper that all I needed to do was ink the edges with vintage photo ink and add a sentiment. I used "Time is a storyteller" because the paper looks like a collection of someone's belongings. I added jute twine to the tag I created.
